[jbosstools-dev] Freemarker functionality in Eclipse?

[Rob Cernich]

I am using for template processing and the freemarker plugin suits my needs.  That said, it would be nice if the library was packaged by itself, as I don't really need the editor.  At this point though, that's just a nit.

Best,
Rob
